Don’t use jargon in the interview. It turns out it is quite
hard for the interviewee not to use jargon. They are familiar with the terms they
are used to say colloquially. If asking them to use words that a layperson
would understand, it could make them pause, hesitate, and twitch before the
words pop out.
Learned the idea about rough edit. I tend to compose the
sequence on paper first then work on the video detail by detail starting from
beginning. This time I may do rough edit first and see how I can tailor into a
cohesive story.
Video editing is like writing code. You save a new version
of file upon every milestone. This way you can always go back and undo or redo
the adjustments.
Have backup plans or actors! The mystery and truth about
this universe is, things probably won’t always work as you plan. Yesterday your
No. 1 choice may say he’s free and gladly to take the shoot, suddenly today he’s
got other plans and leaves you “Sorry, couldn’t help!”
Shooting process may take longer time than expected, but
most of time you turn on the camera just trying to figure out what’s the best
shooting position, the better light setting, the better angle on objects. All
these find-the-spot processes actually drain a lot of battery’s power. This
could be a problem if your camera’s power dies fast, you are not allowed to
plug and shoot, and battery of camera is fixed inside that it wouldn't allow you to change it.
Shooting was fun but the work definitely needs team collaboration. Managing the setting, light, interview, and shoot all by oneself is a lot of work.
